Poor quality items, worse customer service

About the items - I purchased a pair of trousers at the end of May 2025. Almost immediately they became unhemmed. Now they are basically disintegrating- there are pulls all over the leg, the pocket is shredded, and they’re essentially not suitable for wearing out the house.

About the customer service - I contacted whistles over a month ago about the repeated quality issues I’d had with these trousers. In this time I’ve received only two responses from them and had to send 5 chaser emails and a live chat message to get a response. I’ve been offered a £25 goodwill gesture despite the fact the trousers are unwearable, and they’ve just been ignoring me since, so I can only assume they have no intention of giving me any sort of refund.
When I contacted whistles about the unhemming, they did offer to cover £25 towards the repair but wouldn’t pay this to me until I had a receipt, an unnecessary faff. I never took them up on this, so to be offered the same £25 again for yet more quality issues is insulting.

I bought and paid for trainers on line on 20th February. On 27th February I received an email advising that there would be a delay. I heard nothing further. 4 weeks after placing an order I contacted them by email to cancel the order and request a refund. Their presumably AI response invited me to use the returns process and advised the thread would be considered closed as resolved. They have now agreed a refund which I am waiting for. Shameful for a company like whistles

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we’re very sorry for the frustration and disappointment caused.

We completely understand how unacceptable it is to wait so long for an update, and then not receive the level of support you needed when you reached out to cancel your order. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologise for the lack of clear communication and the response you received.

We’re pleased to hear that a refund has now been arranged, but we appreciate that this does not make up for the inconvenience caused. Your feedback has been noted and will be shared with our team so we can review both our communication processes and customer support experience.

If there are any further issues with your refund, please don’t hesitate to get back in touch so we can ensure this is fully resolved for you.

Kind regards, Whistles Customer Care

Personal and friendly welcome

The best thing about popping into the Whistles store is the personal welcome you ALWAYS get - a friendly hello, a bit of chat as you are looking at an article - not sales mad focus, but an actual human connection. Julie epitomised that today which made my purchase an easy decision. Thank you for providing high quality products and welcoming human beings in store to speak to.

Update - lovely to get a reply from the Whistles team although no clue why their reply is addressed to Cornwall!
